No Opinion of CEOI worked at University of Newcastle (UK) full-time for more than a year
Pros
More or less flexible timing. Frequent seminars to learn about your colleagues work. Usually easy networking. Great for collaboration. Internal conferences. Free staff development opportunities (e.g., coping with anxiety etc). Good campus. Efficient and helpful HR.
Cons
Short contracts. Little career growth opportunity. Not transparent promotion policy. Depending on the department, often colleges with secured jobs are not friendly/helpful.

Advice to Management
When your staff strike - when they really don't want to have to do so - listen to why. Better still, listen to what they have to say before they feel the need to strike!
